                      Bangladesh Script A Memorable Win  

This is the first time in Test history that Bangladesh have won a match within three days. They have, in fact, lost 19 in three days. Indeed, an achievement, this one. It is also their first Test win this year! And, Mushfiqur Rahimhas become the first Bangladesh captain to win two Tests.Mushfiqur and his men will heave a sigh of relief! They came so close to losing this one. 17 wickets fell in the day. Earlier, Zimbabwe were completely outfoxed by Taijul's spin as the young man picked up 8 wickets. The visitors only about managed to put up 114. Requiring a mere 101 to win, one would have expected Bangladesh to cruise through. However, Zimbabwe were not ready to let this one slip away so easily. Their pacers yet again used the conditions well to leave the hosts reeling on 62/6. Chigumbura picked up 4 and he was well supported by the other bowlers. In the end, however, skipper Mushfiqur persisted alongside Taijul to give Bangladesh a fantastic victory.
